Auchentoshan

(OCH-en-TOSH-an)

The Auchentoshan distillery got its license in 1823. In Gaelic Auchentoshan means “corner of the field.” The Auchentoshan distillery sits at the foot of the Kilpatrick hills in Dalmuir.

Over the years, the distillery has seen a lot of action including being rebuilt in 1875 to then getting bombed during World War II. It was then repaired in 1949, re-equipped in 1974 and then finally refurbished towards the end of the 1980s.
